An Arabic companion to Snaga Grotesk, designed with Berlin-based Iranian designer Golnar Katrahmani, applying grotesk sensibilities and a subtle reverse contrast to Arabic script across ten weights.
About
Designed to sit alongside the existing Snaga Grotesk without Latin words standing out in Arabic text, this family introduces the parent typeface's characteristic curves and forms into Arabic script, producing what the foundry describes as an 'Arabic grotesk'. Open and closed forms are combined judiciously to maintain readability at smaller sizes, while decorative flourishes common to Arabic type are deliberately avoided. The family also adds unicase variants for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic to the broader Snaga system.
Classification
A sans-serif Arabic typeface with subtle reverse contrast designed as a companion to Snaga Grotesk, deliberately avoiding the decorative forms common to Arabic type in favour of a neutral, grotesk-influenced voice.
